The Old Clock

Cold and dark...

It was cold and dark.

Everything around me seems dark. No trace of light and no trace of life. What happened? And why does it feel like I'm floating?

Child... a voice echoed. Who was that?

Do you want to live again? The voice appeared again. It seems to be asking me. What does that voice mean I want to live again?

Oh, right. I almost forgot what happened.

I died, right? Wanting to laugh, I can't. The air around me is cold and the realization of me died seems unreal.

Do you want to live again? The voice appeared again, once more. Do I want to live again? Of course, maybe, I don't know.

I just can't accept the fact that my life being a college student almost one year left until I can graduate and achieve my dream career will all put to nothing.

More importantly, I want to see mom and dad once more. What are they up to right now? Are they safe from the territorial attacks?

How about Helen. Did she survive? Guessing from that huge blow, I'm sure she did not.

My friend, Helen, I hope you are in safe hands right now. I can't imagine the worst happening to you.

But if this is a chance to live again, why not?

But the question is why me? I want to live!

Before I can respond anything to the unknown ethereal voice, I can't seem to move anything. Even my mouth was shut.

Very well. As if the unknown voice heard my thoughts, it responded.

Then suddenly before me, a burst of colors shine through. It was like a rollercoaster of dreams and memories. I saw a series of my previous life getting mixed up as everything accelerates through like a black hole. It was like I was here to remember my memories in a flash.

Beneath the whirlpool of colors reaches the destination of a huge, rusty, and old clock. It made a weird ticking sound and instead of the hands moving clockwise, the hands were moving counter.

You shall be given a new life. With this, you will realize your past mistakes and value the importance of life. The voice appeared out of nowhere and as if on cue, a loud bell from the clock reverberate around.

What did I do? What mistakes have I commited for the voice to tell me to realize? I admit I'm not perfect but what does the voice refers to?

Then everything suddenly went black.
